New Delhi, 31 March 2024;
Delhi’s historic Ramlila Maidan where Arvind Kejriwal started a new politics in the country over a decade back, today saw his wife Sunita Kejriwal giving a call to 140 crore Indians to unite against the dictatorship of the Modi government at the mega INDIA alliance ‘Loktantra Bachao’ (Save Democracy) rally.
She told the fellow citizens of the country that this dictatorship will not be allowed to continue in the country. We will all unite and fight against this and win. “Your Arvind Kejriwal is a lion, they will not be able to keep him in jail for long. Arvind Kejriwal lives in the hearts of crores of people because of the bravery and courage with which he is fighting for the country. Many times, I feel that in the freedom struggle, he was a freedom fighter who sacrificed his life while fighting for the country. Even in this birth, Arvind Kejriwal ji has probably been sent to fight for Mother India,” Smt Sunita Kejriwal.
Shri Sunita Kejriwal added how her husband, Shri Arvind Kejriwal is getting immense love and blessings from the entire nation. “This dictator rule will not be tolerated in India. We will fight and we will win,” she said.
The crowd assembled at Ramlila Maidan assured to stand with CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal and said in a loud voice that Modi ji did not do good by putting Arvind Kejriwal in jail. Shri Arvind Kejriwal should not resign from the post of Chief Minister.
Smt. Sunita Kejriwal read out the message sent by Shri Arvind Kejriwal from the ED custody and announced the six guarantees on the behalf of Shri Arvind Kejriwal that included 24-hour nationwide electricity; free electricity for poor across the nation; good government schools in all villages and colonies; Mohalla clinics for all colonies and villages; MSP for farmers as per the Swaminathan committee report; and full statehood for Delhi.
Speaking on the occasion, AAP’s Senior Leader and Punjab CM Sardar Bhagwant Mann thanked the senior leaders of all the component parties of the INDIA alliance for coming together in support of Delhi Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest. “The democracy of the country is in danger. They (BJP) think they can get away with it, ruling with force. But we are not ones to fear, bow, or break. This country doesn’t belong to anyone’s ancestors; it belongs to 140 crore people. This freedom was given to us by freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Madan Lal Dhingra, Kartar Singh Sarabha, Chandrashekhar Azad, who sacrificed their lives at such a young age. This isn’t the inheritance of their (BJP) forefathers. What do they understand? They’re saying, ‘put him in jail, him too, whoever builds hospitals and schools arrest them. Freeze the account of the Congress party, freeze the leaders of any party’. Will you win like this?” He asked.
The Punjab CM continued, “We are not leaves that will fall off the branch and break, tell storms to stay within their limits. What do you (BJP) understand? They (BJP) have put Shri Arvind Kejriwal and Shri Hemant Soren in jail in fake cases. They are sending the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to someone’s house, revoking someone’s Parliament membership, or seizing someone’s house. Are you (BJP) the owners of these houses? The owners of these houses are 140 crore people of this country. It’s not known to anyone, when will the public send anyone to which house. They (BJP) have a big misconception. Those who rule hearts rule the government, even a rooster has a crown on its head.”
Sardar Bhagwant Mann mentioned that today, Sunita Kejriwal, Kalpana Soren, and Sonia Gandhi are here. “I salute that they have endured so much pain, they have seen so much in their lives. They have faced storms and hurricanes, yet they sit with such courage. They are with you (people of the country), and the greatest oxygen is your love. These applauses are not received by everyone. It’s easy to chant “Modi Modi” by lures of money, but when the people applaud from the heart, it makes an impact. They (BJP) want to divide this country into pieces; they have led this country into a storm of hatred,” he added.
Narrating an anecdote from the parliament during the introduction of the controversial CAA bill in the parliament, Sardar Bhagwant Mann shared “When CAA came, I was an MP in the parliament. I said in the parliament, give me a chance to speak, they didn’t allow it. I said, just give me 30 seconds, they asked what will you say in 30 seconds? I said, don’t divide the long journey into miles, don’t divide the village into communities, my India is a flowing river, don’t divide it into ponds and lakes.”
The Punjab CM affirmed that they (BJP) may arrest Shri Arvind Kejriwal, but how will they arrest his ideology? The millions of Arvind Kejriwals born in this country, which jail will you imprison them in? Shri Arvind Kejriwal is not an individual; Arvind Kejriwal is the name of an ideology. Everyone is united in the INDIA alliance; in my opinion, many cameras might have trembled seeing how we (INDIA) all came together. They don’t want us to come together; some spread this rumour, some spread that rumour. “But I want to say to everyone, let’s come together and tell these corrupt people that Bhagwan Mann said, gather as much wealth as you want, diamonds, pearls, but remember that there are no pockets on a shroud. No money will go with you; so, don’t take the curses of the poor,” he added.
“Lies and ‘jumlas’ (rhetoric) are prevailing in every matter. Factories producing ‘jumlas’ are running. In the coming days, you will be flooded with new ‘jumlas’, don’t believe it. I had said in the parliament, If I write a figure of ₹15 lakhs, the pen stops. When I think about black money, the ink dries up. Everything turned out to be ‘jumla’. Now even I doubt, does Modi ji even know how to make tea? I think he might not even know how to make tea, considering the kind of lies that are being spread,” Sardar Bhagwant Mann concluded.
